Colton's birthday was 5/23. We sang at 6:47 AM, and after that we realized this boy probably has another ear infection, so we kept him home and went to the pediatrician and found out he had a double ear infection. Poor guy, but he still had a smile on his face throughout the day as you can see. What a year! It is kind of a blur when I look back on it. While it seems like it went by so fast, it also feels like a year ago today was actually 5 years ago. I can't even remember what it was like to have a 5 lb 15 oz baby. Everyday has gotten better and better. Every new trick gets more exciting and more amazing. Colton is talking lots, pulling himself up on his own, and walking with assistance (and is working up the courage to take a step on his own). He loves real food and enjoys eating it on his own. He shakes his head when you say, "No, no, no." He loves playing with Val, feeding her his food, and playing with her dog tags. He loves his Daddy's funny faces and when his beard tickles his feet. He could live on my chest and is most comfortable there - my little love lump. He loves all things Elmo, taking walks outside, and his bath. He loves all of you and thanks you for being a part of his 1st year. I have captured almost every single day of it. I made his wish on his birthday before we blew out the candle. I wished him the best life ever and at least 100 more years ahead of him.
